Thanks, Leah! Hognose are fascinating because they are colored and patterned similarly to the venomous snakes where they are found. Western hognose are patterned and colored similarly to prairie rattlesnakes. Eastern hognose snakes have color phases and patterning more like copperheads and water moccasins.

Hi Tim, wonderful photos of a tiny snake. Beautiful markings, and the snake looks great with Laurie’s nails.
Thanks, Mia. I normally don’t pick up the larger hognose snakes (although, I play with them), but this one was so cute that I just had to pick it up.
You’re welcome, Tim.
I can’t seem to go to the tandlphotos link today. I tried a few hours ago and just now. I get a site can’t be located notice. Hmmm. I’ll check back.
Try in now and see if the page will load for you.
Got it thanks! Fascinating pictures and quite a beautifully patterned snake!

How about no with holding a snake but a cool shot.
But it was a cute little snake. Thanks, Teri!
Cute and snake? I’ll get back to you on that one.
